AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY
Mexican Constitutional amendment Passed
wild Scenes In the Lower House.

Mexican Constitutional Amendment Passed
wild Scenes In the Lower House.
ST. LOUIS, April d. A special from
the City ofMexico says: "The Constitu-
tiOnal Amendment passed the House OF
Deputies last night by an overwhelming
majority.
Trinidad Gracia took the floor soon after
the session opened and spoke for half an
hour. Several deputies followed, and
Lancaster Jones, Of JaliscO, the leader of
the amendment forces, closed the debate.
On call of the roll, 12l Deputies voted
for the amendment and only 10 went on
record against. The proposition allows one
re election OF a President, that is, two sue
cessiye terms. The amendment now goes
to the Senate, where it will probably be
passed without debate. Ratification by
the State Legislatures is said TO be assured.
On the announcement of the vote the
spectators who crowded the galleries shout
ell and hOwled and pounded the floors, while
the deputies below congratulated each
other in a most extravagant manner. Most
of the Diaz Cabinet were present and man
ifested much satisfaction.
By Americans here this action is inter-
preted as meaning the reelection of Daz
and consequent advancement of Mexican
railroad stocks and government securities,
as well as the improvement of all Ameri-
can interests in Mexico.

MR.. sHERMAN'S DANGER.
Alleged Attempt to KIdnaP Him During
His Recent Visit TO Cuba.

Alleged Attempt to KidnaP Him During
His Recent Visit 10 Cuba.
KEY WEST, FLA, April 22.-From pri-
yate letters from Havana it is learned that
party of kidnappers or outlaws, comPris-
ing much of the dangerous element Of Gu
ban banditti, had arranged to capture Sen
ator John Sherman on his recent visit to
Cuba.
The project only failed by difference in
time.
The plot was we'll arranged, and the
banditti were in sufficient force TO capture
Sherman's party, bpt, fortunately for the
distinguished gentleman's safety, they left
the plantation intended as the scene of the
outrage just five minutes before the out
laws appeared. 1t is thought the owner OF
the plantation was party to the scheme.
The foregoing appears in paper pub
lished to-day. While in Havana Mr..
Sherman took occasion to cOngratu-
late the Captain General on the
peace prevailing throughout the island.
When the Senator, however, expressed a
desire to visit the sugar plantations in the
interior, the military guard was sent as
an escort, and the entire party barely es-
capped an unpleasant surprise.
The letter referred to above, after men
tiOning several wealthy SpRniards recently
captured and held for ransom, says: II al
so learn that few minutes after the visit
of Sherman, MandersOD, McCOOk and the
Spanish officials to the plantation of Pedro
I4amberto Fernandez, at Colon, the bandit
Matagas arrived in search of the Americans.
Upon being told by the Overseer that the
party had left, he was severely beaten to
make him divulge their hiding place. The
bandits satisfied themselves by searching
the plantation Immediately, and then retir-
ed. Matagas was in full uniform and his
band was well mounted and armed 10 re-
ceiye such distinguished visitors"

Love of War Literature.

know by the experience of my ear
ly years, and by long observation, that
thoughtless young people, and, must l
say it, even many aged people, are
deeply fascinated by reading histories
of great battles. This is greatly to be
lamented by all true friends of the hu-
man race. For short time after our
civil war, the people felt 80 keenly the
loss of go many friends by that terri
BILE war, were SO shocked with the
great sufferings and slaughters of that
time, that they did not feel inclined to
read much of battles and carnage.
But a sad change for the worse has
taken place. Time has blunted Che
tender feelings of many, and distance
lends enchantment to the view"-
and most delusive and horrid en-
chantment it is, too. War literature
is fast increasing in our land, In books
and monthly magazines, and weekly
and daily papers, which is eagerly
read by vast numbers, not only in the
day time and late in the night, but
also greatly on the Sabbath, to The
neglect of the Holy Scripture and
healthful religious reading. Our liter
ature is deeply corrupted by q war
spirit and an admiration of military
glory; and very lamentable to say, the
religious press and the pulpit are do
ing very little to purify it.

Consecrated Poverty.

We have been reading and hearing
of .sconsecrated wealth" for long
time. So much has been said about
"property devoted to God" "conse-
Grated riches" and the like, that we
have for years been looking and eX-
pecting "some great thing" to be born
of this ''consecration"-something
that, as we once heard brother say
in his prayer, would astonish the ma
tives." But the "great thing" has not
come to the birth, and the expectant
establishment has been converted into
a query, whether all this talk about
"c0nsecrated wealth" is not the veriest
palaver, and the "consecrated wealth"
itself q sort of sanctified humbug !!
We have "consecrated' our property
until we find that nearly all our
schools are burdened with debt, and
none of them patronized as we have a
right to expect, the missionary enter
p:ises of the Church are languishing
suppers and fairs, "and such like" are
resorted to to run the churches, and
the "ways and means" committees are
in absolute despair. The only, hope
that we can see to ward off bankrupt
CIV is for us now to consecrate our pow
erty to God. This is what our Lord
did in His incarnation. HE was
rich, He became poor that ye through
His poverty might be rich" This is
what Paul's Corinthians did. Their
"deep poverty abounded unto the
riches of their liabilities" Consecratc
ed poverty is what God wants. "All
riches are His native right" "The
gold and the silver are His, and the
cattle upon a thousand hills" Conse-
Grated poverty! Let us try that
while!-Erchdnge.

Imagination.

Here is a story which is often told to
show the power of the Imagination. A
murderer was condemned to die, ana
some physicians obtained permission
to try an experiment upon him. They
told the prisoner that his execution
was to he private instead OF pubic,
and that death would be painless.
They took him blindfolded into room
and laid him OH table that had niue
faucets of water at the corners: ne
thought he was to be bled TO deatn:
He heard the doctors, ho talked as II
they were bleeding him, and when
they turned on the water he thought
it was the blood dropping, and actual
ly died without having lost drop OF
blood, simply because he imagined ne
was dying.
Another story which shows how the
imagination can make a we'll person
sick is told of certain DR.. Buckland.
He gave q dinner one day after he had
been dissectinga Mississippi alligator,
and invited many distinguished peo-
pie to dine with him. The table was
elegantly set, and the meal commenc-
ed with excellent soup.
"How do you like the soup?" asked
the doctor of one of his guests.
"Very good, indeed" answered the
gentleman "turtle, is it not ?"
The doctor shook his head.
II think it has somewhat Of mus
ky taste," said another, mot unpleas-
ant, but peculiar"
"All alligators have" replied the
host, "the cayman peculiarly so. The
fellow whom I dissected this morn
ing"
Before he could say any thing more
many of the diners turned pale ana
rushed out of the room.
"See what imagination is, said Dr..
Buckland to those who remained. "lf
i had told them it was turtle or terra.
pin or birds'-nest soup, they would
have pronounced it excellent, and
their digestion been none the worse. "
"But was it really alligator" asked
a lady.
1.-The soup was made from as good a
calf's head as ever wore coronet," re-
piled the doctor.
These people lost good dinner from
yielding to the effects of Imagination:
But many lose years of happiness and
helpfulness by imagining themselves
sick and lying in bed, when little ef-
fort of the will would make them we'll,
and show that it was not their bodies
but their imaginations that were dis
eased.
